I checked around for a Brett Favre thread and didn't see one....so here goes! What do you think of this 38 year old QB from the Green Bay Packers? Personally I am a huge Packers fan so I couldn't be happier....I can't believe how well he's been playing this year....well minus the Dallas game last week....but hopefully he'll be able to redeem himself and keep the streak alive this Sunday!
I think he definitely deserves the title of Sportsman of the Year.....hey how about Sportsman of the decade!!!!!

Is this a Brett Favre-appriciation thread, or a discussion thread about him being named Sportsman of the Year? I'll take it as the latter and say that ... I like Brett Favre. How can you not? What he's doing, at his age, is phenomenal and it's great to see someone realize that they're not done playing at the highest level - it usually goes the other way. That being said, Favre isn't my Sportsman of the Year. Roger Federer is. Winning three of four Grand Slams and reaching the final of the last and leading the world rankings for every week of the year is a massive achievement in such a competitive sport, and his charitable work isn't any less than Favre's.

Well actually you're right I did mean for it to be a discussion on him being named Sportsman of the Year....I guess I was just expressing my appreciation for him! Anyways yes I want to know who thinks he deserves it or not etc....

I totally think Favre deserved it. I'm very glad that he got it. I loved the article SI did on him. It was a very good read.

Thanks for starting this discussion thread here about his award.

i was kinda upset...i really think Michael Phelps (the swimmer) is the best sportsman out there right now...there are alot of great ones but he is the only one that is prob the best in history in there sport.

I personally, feel Brett deserved just with how far he and the Packers came this past year. A belated congrats to him!

MissMonroe you are probably right about Michael Phelps being the best swimmer out there right now.

MissMonroe

lakers0604 you can call me Cali i personaly think e is the best in history but swimmers never get credit exuse me for being bitter about it but i'm a swimmer. lol but Brett is a GREAT player....

living destiny

Oh I like that name! Cali! Yes definently Michael is great. I just think there is a better reason they gave it to Brett.

NikNak

Yeah, me too.

Mike deserves his props for his talent in swimming, though.

living destiny

Definently. One year Michael may get this, just not this year.

MissMonroe

aww thank you lakers0604

michael will get it IF he can get 8 golds in beijing

living destiny

Well I'll be rooting for Michael then. You can me Sheils or Sheila, Cali.

I personally think Brett will be back next year. Anyone else have any ideas?

I just wanted to say that o saw his press confrance and it was very touching. From a Giant's fan who likes the Pacs i wish Bret all the luck he can get as he retires.

living destiny

Wow I open my mouth and say I think he'll be back, then he goes and retires!

His press conference was so sad. It was really touching. I agreed with everything he said. At least he is going out on top. I was crying throughout the entire thing. He will truly be missed.
